    LET(
      Delim,  "|",
      Value,  SUBSTITUTE([@[Order Number]], " & ", Delim),

          Dvalue, Delim & Value,
          split,  MID(Dvalue, seqLen, 1),
          arr,    (split = Delim) * seqLen,
          FILTER(arr, arr > 0)
        ),
      arrEnd,
        LET(
          valueD, Value & Delim,
          split,  MID(valueD, seqLen, 1),
          arr,    (split = Delim) * seqLen,
          FILTER(arr, arr > 0)
        ),
      arrValues,  MID(Value, arrStart, arrEnd-arrStart),
      valueOccur, COUNTIF(
                OFFSET(tblOrders[[#Headers],[Order Number]],1,0,(ROW()-ROW(tblOrders[#Headers]))),
                [@[Order Number]]
            ),
      INDEX(arrValues, valueOccur)
    ),
    [@[Order Number]]
)
